Tickets and Guest Seating
Commencement 2025 will be a ticketed event. Each graduate will receive 6 tickets, with a reservation deadline of February 3, 2025. Starting February 10, 2025, tickets will be distributed by the Bursar’s office. Tickets will only be provided to those who request them. You are not required to take all 6 tickets if you don’t need them; you may request only the number of tickets you require. Tickets will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, with seating in the auditorium filling from front to back. Any remaining tickets will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis at a later date. Please note that no guest will be permitted entry to the theater without a ticket. All tickets will be collected and managed by the staff at the Rialto Center, and lost tickets cannot be replaced.

PLEASE NOTIFY the Law School by February 3, 2025 by emailing GRADUATION@JOHNMARSHALL.EDU IF ONE OF YOUR TICKETED GUESTS WILL REQUIRE ACCESSIBLE SEATING (wheelchair). ONE ticketed guest will be able to accompany those needing assistance. All guests must still present their ticket to enter the auditorium. Accessible seating will begin at 12:30 PM. All other guests will not have access into the theater until 12:45 PM. Accessible seating and accompanying guests must still have a ticket to enter and no additional tickets will be allotted.
There will not be overflow seating outside the auditorium for non-ticketed guests.
